Jealousy isn't just about insecurity—and it's definitely not just about trust. In this episode, Professor RJ Starr explores the deeper psychology behind romantic jealousy: where it comes from, why it shows up even in healthy relationships, and what it’s really trying to reveal. Drawing from evolutionary biology, attachment theory, and emotional development, we unpack why jealousy hurts the way it does—and how to respond without shame, reactivity, or control. Whether you're in a relationship, recovering from one, or just trying to understand your own emotional responses better, this episode offers a grounded, compassionate look at one of the most misunderstood emotions we experience.
